Trailblaze PSP is an application to view and manipulate PNG images in 3D. A number of techniques can easily be used to create various interesting graphics effects, with Screenshot support.

Installation

Place a PNG image of your choice with the name revi.png to the ms0:/PSP/GAME/TRAILB/ directory. A default revi.png is created if not found in /TRAILB when TrailblazePSP launches.

Maximum resolution is 512x512. Image resolution above 256x256 may cause animation lag. This can be smoothed using loRes mode, at the expense of image quality.

Displayed images are always rescaled to the screen. Images with semi-transparent alpha levels can be used. Best results are from 256x256 resolution, with on/off alpha only (a=0 (on), or a=255 (off)).

User guide

Delta rotation combined with view rotation can easily send the image outside the viewport. It can be brought back by reversing direction with the R shoulder button, by holding down the controls until the image rotates around 360 degrees, or simply by using the Start button to reset.

Screenshots are saved to ms0:/PSP/GAME/TRAILB/SCREENSHOT/scrn%N.png, where N is the lowest unused screenshot number. The screenshot is taken from the screen buffer. Tracer levels from VRAM are not included.
